Plan...
- Review Airplane Maintenance Logs
- Discuss Navlog related questions (cross country flight planning)
- Practice ground reference maneuvers in the ground trainer
- Review Systems
- Review Principles of Flight
- Discuss ATC light gun signals and radio failures
- Continue review for FAA practical exam
Lift Production...
- include Newton's Third Law into discussion
- talk a little bit more about deflection of air flowing over the wing

Systems...
Powerplant...
- good job naming the model (IO-360-L2A)
- Crankshaft is connected directly from the cylinders to the propeller (direct drive)
Turns Around a Point (Ground Trainer)...
Aeromedical Factors...
Hypoxia...
- good general description
- hypoxic hypoxia
- remember that this would come from a lack of oxygen going into lungs
- think blocked airway or lack of oxygen in the air (high altitude)
- hypemic hypoxia
- think carbon monoxide (blood is picking up instead of molecules)
- stagnant hypoxia
- caused by blood not being able to go to where it needs to go (typically caused by g forces in aviation)
- histotoxic hypoxia
- think mainly alcohol / drugs
- caused by
Supplemental Oxygen Requirements...
Medical Certificate Validity...
Fatigue...
- good job
- just remember the differences between chronic and acute fatigue
1/14/2024...
- turn lights on when crossing runways
- don't forget about making position reports in the practice area
Takeoff...
- don't forget about adding crosswind correction during the takeoff (even with very light winds)
- otherwise great job
Slow Flight (Landing Configuration)...
- good job
- if your power setting isn't working out, feel free to add or reduce it (even early on in the maneuver)
Power off Stall...
- the primary concern during recovery is reducing angle of attack and being able to climb
- don't worry as much about flap adjustments until you're established in a climb
- be prepared to add a lot of right rudder when increasing pitch with a high power setting
Power on Stall...
- good job
- you don't have to bring the nose down quite as much
- normally you can let the nose of the airplane "kiss" the horizon and you will be out of the stall
Steep Turns...
- watch out for altitude deviations throughout the maneuver
- adding nose up trim can help with this (feel free to add more if needed)
- adding a little bit more power during the entry can also help
- focus on the sight picture outside
- pay attention to what a 45 degree bank angle looks like
- you tended to allow your bank to come out a little bit and then increase it back (you want to be consistent with your bank angle throughout)
